Every guitar has its own personality.
For this week’s solo, I played my Ibanez RG550 - a guitar with an incredibly fast neck that pushes me toward tapping licks, legato runs, and slides. There’s something about this guitar that brings out a more technical and fast-paced side of my playing, and this weekly solo project keeps challenging me to set a higher bar for myself. It’s frustrating at times, but it’s also what drives improvement.
And then, there’s the darker side of it all.
Social media, views, likes - it’s a two-sided coin. Whether as a consumer or a creator, the addiction feels strangely the same. The endless chase for external validation, for that fleeting sense of satisfaction, never truly ends. Perhaps that’s the nature of human existence - always searching for something just out of reach.
